A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this vaccine. It is given as a shot into one of your muscles.
This vaccine is usually given in 3 doses. After the first dose, 2 more doses are given within 1 to 12 months. It is very important that you receive all 3 doses of the vaccine at least 1 week before possible exposure.
